Armthorpe Miners Memorial Garden

Mr Meade and Mrs Price took five Y1 and five reception children to learn a bit about Armthorpe’s mining history! Our children have also planted a time capsule of their beautiful expedition work, which will be re-opened in 5 years time! This was a beautiful experience which links very closely to both EYFS and KS1’s current expeditions.

Thank you grown ups for your cooperation as always! #LovePlover

Pride of Plover

Well done to our F2 yellow tshirt winners this week, Lita and Avaarni.

Lita has been trying so so hard with her learning this week and has shown great perseverance. She is becoming a lot more confident in answering questions in class and trying things for herself.

Avaarni has been extremely kind to her peers and other visitors that we have had in school. She showed compassion to children that visited from Heatherwood School and engaged beautifully with them, asking lots of questions.

My turn, your turn

In maths today the children each had a role. One person had to spin the spinner and tell their partner the double they needed to make. The other person had to make the double and say the equation. they then swapped over. Lots of children were able to say doubles and could check if their answers were correct.

We are pirates!

As part of our third case study we are learning about characters in stories related to the sea. We had a wonderful time pretending to be pirates today.

The children used a range of equipment to create hats, eye patches, maps, telescopes and a boat.

Can the pirate get to the treasure?

In maths this week we are learning about doubles. We created a game today to get the pirates to the treasure. The children had to roll a double to move towards the treasure. They took turns and celebrated the winners.

Beware of the dinosaurs

Some of the children whilst exploring maths equipment today made an enclosure for the dinosaurs. This led to discussions about sorting and pattern as well as counting the number of posts in the fence.

they wrote signs to keep the children away.

Who or what could be in a seaside story?

This morning we looked at different story books to think about characters and objects that we could use for our seaside stories. The children worked together, sharing books and created a list of their ideas.

New friendships

We had a delightful afternoon forming new friendships with the children from Heatherwood School. The children laughed, sang and played together. We hope to repeat the event soon.

I was really proud of our EYFS children and how kind and thoughtful they were.

Challenge to 20

For those children working at green standard their challenge in maths was to investigate number bonds to 20. They used different resources to practice and write equations but were then able to say the number bonds to 20.

Well done to Paisley, Evanas and Alec.
